Karen is outstanding as Dolly Parton. Her vocals are LIVE and on pitch every time!! Her look is spot on, and her performance is second to none!
She is simply the best Dolly Parton tribute artist on the market!

I hired Karen to perform at Celebration Music Theatre home of SuperStarz.live in Myrtle Beach SC. She is perfect, her voice is nothing but the best in the business, she has Dolly down to a tee. She is an awesome performer.

What to Expect

Audience members will be thoroughly entertained and feel as if "Dolly" is right there in front of them! I love audience interaction, so I will talk with them, sing to them, bring them up on stage, etc. If you have someone in particular, that you would love to see on stage with Dolly, I will work that into my set. I'm great with "meet and greets" , photo ops, etc. and will cater my performance to your needs.
